We were told Danny White was a great hire. We were told Danny White was ready for the big stage at a big program.
I will say, based on what I've seen so far, this is the case.
I believe he has his eyes, heart and soul set on winning. Bringing Heupel to Tennessee has, so far, looked like a brilliant decision.
He is credited and known for making very solid hires everywhere he's been.
How good is he at retaining coaches? Especially one's he hired? He lost Scott Frost to Nebraska from UCF. I understand that on paper and historical significance Nebraska has been a better program than UCF. I get it.
But, White had a coach, that he hired leave for his alma mater in Frost going to Nebraska.
Now, faced with a similar situation and Oklahoma being Oklahoma, what happens? With Tennessee being HISTORICALLY a top ten program in many categories, but Oklahoma as being one with actual more success than Tennessee.....how does this play out?
What are the advantages for Heupel staying at Tennessee vs leaving for his alma mater? Does anyone know?
This is where Danny White has to step up and retain his guy this time. Danny White will have to put on his best sales pitch this time.
I think this will possibly come down to seeing what Danny White is made of. I guess we will see.......
